Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm?

A mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory firm helps businesses buy, sell, or merge with other companies by providing expert guidance throughout the transaction process. These firms assist with valuation, deal strategy, financial analysis, negotiations, and managing the entire deal lifecycle to ensure clients achieve the best possible outcome.

How do you find potential acquisition targets?

Potential acquisition targets are identified through market research, industry analysis, and deep sector networks. Advisors evaluate companies based on strategic fit, financial performance, and growth potential. They also use proprietary databases, direct outreach, and industry relationships to source high-quality opportunities.

What are the benefits of a merger or acquisition?

A merger or acquisition can accelerate growth by expanding market reach, product offerings, or capabilities. It creates opportunities for cost efficiencies, synergies, and stronger competitive positioning. It also enables companies to gain talent, technology, and operational scale more quickly than through organic growth.

How long does the M&A process typically take?

The M&A process typically takes 6 to 12 months for most transactions.
Smaller or straightforward deals can close in 3–6 months.Complex deals with extensive due diligence, regulatory review, or multiple stakeholders may take 12–18 months or longer.

What is due diligence and why is it important?

Due diligence is a detailed investigation of a company’s financial, legal, and operational health before an M&A transaction. It helps identify risks, validate information, and ensure the business is accurately represented. This step is essential for making informed decisions and protecting both parties in the deal.

What happens to employee benefits during a merger or acquisition?

During a merger or acquisition, employee benefits are reviewed to determine which plans will continue, change, or be consolidated. Companies aim to align benefits across the new organization while maintaining fairness and compliance. Employees are typically informed of any updates and transition plans to ensure clarity and stability.

How is the value of a company determined during mergers and acquisitions?

Good tax planning is key. Some strategies include: maximizing eligible deductions/credits, choosing the appropriate tax regime, structuring income/investments efficiently, and ensuring compliance to avoid penalties. We guide you with lawful, up-to-date approaches tailored to your situation.
